apni sada ki gunj hi tujh ko dara na de
ai dil tilism-e-gumbad-e-shab mein sada na de

diwar-e-khastagi hun mujhe hath mat laga
main gir padunga dekh mujhe aasra na de

gul kar na de charagh-e-wafa hijr ki hawa
tul-e-shab-e-alam mujhe patthar bana na de

hum sab asir-e-dasht-e-huwaida hain dosto
hum mein koi kisi ko kisi ka pata na de

sab mahw-e-naqsh-e-parda-e-rangin to hain magar
koi sitam-zarif ye parda hata na de

ek zindagi-gazida se ye dushmani na kar
ai dost mujh ko umr-e-abad ki dua na de

darta hun aaina hun kahin tut hi na jaun
ek lau si hun charagh ki koi bujha na de

han mujh pe faiz-e-'mir'-o-'firaq'-o-'nadim' hai
lekin tu ham-sukhan mujhe itni hawa na de
